Everything Eastern European: This group is about Everything Eastern European including news, politics, shopping, travel, history, people, you name it. As I browsed all the groups, I didn't find such a group, so I thought I'd create this group. It's my very first group! Hope you can join.
What is considered Eastern Europe? Countries of Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Moldova, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, & the former states of Yugoslavia: Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. The definition of Eastern Europe has been expanded to include these previously mostly Communist/Socialist countries: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Greece, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, & Turkey which had been considered Southern European countries.
Quick, what do you think?
Did you realize just how many designer brands are actually made in Eastern European countries as opposed to China?
